MANILA, Philippines – Apart from ghost projects, the country should also be talking about conflict of interest in light of the flood control projects corruption scandal.
Under many laws — including the 1987 Constitution no less — conflict of interest is strictly prohibited. Aside from banning politicians from having other occupations other than their elective positions, the laws also bar them from having direct or indirect financial interests in government contracts.
Unfortunately, the Philippines has several politicians linked to government contractors. Either these officials are contractors themselves, or it’s their family members or allies.
Justice reporter Jairo Bolledo explains conflict of interest in the government in this episode of Rappler’s vertical series, Order in the Court. – Rappler.com

This morning I was talking to a neighbour about him trying to get meaningful employment in South East Cornwall. Yeah, I know, there hardly i s any down this way and Employers seem to think that commuting more than 15 minutes is far too much for anyone to have to do.
Anyway, the conversation turned to Indeed, which is apparently less popular for finding a job than Face Ache, however it is somewhere employers tend to use round here for some unknown reason. I made a few comments then remembered reading something here about Indeed having an Opt Out thing regarding AI using your profile in LLM which would include pretty much all your personal data.
Can anyone point me in the direction of how to disable this once and for all please? It is Indeed specific and probably within the settings somewhere but seems to be buried in a pile of dried moss somewhere.
Thanks in advance (As usual DDG search is coning up with how wonderful AI is on Indeed!!!)

It’s fitting that Hegseth, a political appointee whose tenure has been marked by incompetence, would defend the awarding of those particular Medals of Honor, because they were awarded to cover up the incompetence of political appointees that led to the deaths of at least 230 peaceful Lakotas, as well as about twenty-five soldiers who were caught in their own crossfire. heathercoxrichardson.substack.…
Today Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that twenty men who were awarded the Medal of Honor for their participation in the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre would keep their medals, despite more than a century of controversy over them.
Die Faktenlage bzgl. Klimakatastrophe ist so eindeutig und die Folgen sind so schwerwiegend, dass Unternehmen, Parteien und andere Organisationen, die immer noch wirksame Maßnahmen dagegen behindern, als verbrecherisch einzustufen sind.
Die EU-Kommission will noch dieses Jahr das sogenannte Verbrenner-Aus überprüfen. Friedrich Merz hat eine klare Position: Trotz Zweifeln aus der SPD werde er sich in Brüssel dafür einsetzen, das Verbrennerverbot aufzuheben, sagt der Kanzler.
#boost MERZ hat mit guter Politik, oder Politik für Menschen, oder problemlösender Politik gar nichts mehr am Hut. Sonntagsredner Friedrich ist m.E. auf dem Weg zum miserabelsten Kanzler unserer Bundesrepublik . . . 🥲 🥲 🥲, imho.
Warum übernimmt ntv hier einmal mehr dass Framing „Verbrenner-Aus“? Mal abgesehen davon, dass Merz hier selbst damit zitiert wird, es seien auch nach dem „Aus“ noch alt zugelassene Verbrenner unterwegs. Er wird nämlich auch damit zitiert, dass „der Industrie“ der Weg zur CO2-Neutralität überlassen werden müsse. Und genau das ist m.W. der Fall beim sog. „Verbrenner-Aus“. Das hier ist nichts anderes als ein Eingeständnis, dass E-Fuels Bullshit sind.
@Commodore1351 Wollte ich auch schon kommentieren - verbrenner dürfen noch ewig fahren, sie dürfen nur ganz technologieoffen wie elektrisch fahrende Fahrzeuge keine Klimagase ausstoßen. Wie, das ist den Herstellern überlassen.
Eigentlich sollte die Überschrift lauten „Merz fordert Ausstieg aus dem Klimaschutz“

The image features a marble bust of Julius Caesar, prominently displayed on a gray pedestal. The bust is intricately detailed, showcasing Caesar's facial features, short hair, and a stern expression. He is depicted wearing a toga with a lion's head emblem on the chest, symbolizing his power and authority. The background includes ornate architectural elements, such as a decorative wall with balustrades and a framed panel, enhancing the historical ambiance. To the left, another bust is partially visible, adding context to the setting. A label on the pedestal identifies the sculpture as "Sculpture Anonymo Unknown Sceptror Julius Caesar."

Ok another one!! This is a lovely project for kids’ handicrafts and no one ever gives to it. It’d mean income for Ibtihal (to buy food) & joy for Palestinian kids. No support in three weeks.
@shantini gave €34, and I matched with €5. Can you match one of us? Can you text a family member to match you? Can you click “monthly”?
